A security and emergency services startup partnered with Zestminds to rework an already in-production app. The team needed to build an MVP and be ready for market launch by Feb 2021.
Thanks to the efforts of the Zestminds team, the project is currently on track to meet their deadline. The company is most impressed by the team's knowledge in both mobile app and portal development that they displayed throughout the project.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the CEO of a startup company, Herdum Systems Pvt Ltd. We are building an aggregation platform in the space of security and emergency services, which will cater to a global marketplace. Zestminds is our development partner for building the App and portal
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Zestminds?
Our company's mobile application and portal was being earlier built by a different company about a year back. However, we were unhappy about their competence, agility and delivery capability. We switched to Zestminds in May 2020 and have found them to be a reliable software development partner.
What were your goals for this project?
We defined a few stages to get to the MVP and be ready for market launch by Feb 2021. We are well on track to achieve this goal
SOLUTION
How did you select Zestminds?
We searched for development teams and came across Zestminds. They came well recommended and fitted well into our requirements of building a complex product from scratch. Their team members have displayed the maturity and knowledge that is required.
Describe the project in detail.
Mobile application on Android and iOS. Portal using Laravel backend.
Typical Process is: stage-wise ideation >> mockup >> designs >> coding >> QA >> Beta testing >> Build release
The product is customer facing, has partners and partner field force. Hence, the modules include:
for consumers: registration, validation, chat-bot for feature & pack selection, check-out amongst multiple packs and payment plans, payment, profile enhacement, SOS activation, movement tracking, feedback of responder (field agent), referral program
wearable and other device integration
for partners: on-boarding, rule based hierarchy of users, invitation to field agents, partner-assisted SOS call assignment to field agent, agent rostering, tracking of agents on SOS/otherwise, inter-partner call-transfer, B2B wallet, Uber type assignment of field agent
What was the team composition?
Initially, we started with one Android and one backend developer, one QA and one Project Manager. Over time this has grown to: 2 Android + 1 iOS developer, 3 backend developers, 1 QA, Project Manager
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We reached stages 1 & 2 of MVP roadmap in Dec'20 and Jan'21 respectively, and are ready for field trials in Feb'21. Stage 3 onwards are scheduled from Feb'21 onwards spaced out 4-6 weeks apart.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Workflow updates are done using Trello. We have weekly review meetings
What did you find most impressive about this company?
They are knowledgeable about both mobile application and portal development in several domains, and honest about where external help would be required. Their team members work with personal sincerity and integrity
Are there any areas for improvement?
As always, delivery is required on a yesterday basis, which is not always possible

After developing the backend of a WordPress website, Zestminds has been providing comprehensive technical support. They address server problems, make programming changes, and add content.
Their work was instrumental in closing two distribution deals, each of which brought $50,000. Highly responsive, they make each issue their number one priority, while their expertise and their ability to understand and meet all needs contributed to the long-term relationship.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I work at 1337institute of Technology.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Zestminds?
We needed a company to help us with various technical issues, such as adding content or making programming changes.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
They used PHP, Java, and HTML to develop the backend of our WordPress website and then they became a one-stop shop for all of our technical issues. They provide technical support and address any server problems, troubleshooting and making sure we're up and running in record-breaking time. They understand the complicated programming issues and have a great set of programming skills. If they don't have a particular skill, they reach out to a third party that can handle it.
What is the team composition?
I mostly work with the owner, but he has a team that is working on our project.
How did you come to work with them?
We were looking for an offshore developer because they have affordable rates. We were considering a few different offshore agencies, but we had to deal with many communications issues. Zestminds is a small agency and they understood our needs. They helped develop our platform and knew the whole infrastructure and ideas, so we reached out to them again when we needed tech support.
How much have you invested with them?
We've spent between $20,000–$30,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in June 2013 and the relationship is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Because of their work we were able to launch two third-party distribution deals–with Groupon and StackSocial, each of which brought us $50,000 within the first two months.
How did they perform from a project management standpoint?
They work almost on autopilot, so we talk every other week to check the statistics and make sure everything is going well. We use Skype and a screen sharing tool to communicate.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I appreciate their responsiveness. If there is an issue, they make it their number one priority.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I'm uniquely satisfied (even though I'm not a person who is easily satisfied).
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and do the necessary research. Also, be open to suggestions since they know what they're talking about. The best decisions I made were based on their recommendations.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
We had a kick off to discuss scope after which we set up several sprints, each with key features to be delivered. On a daily basis we had a connect with the development team to clarify questions or to simply update on the progress. This allowed us maximum transparency as well as allowed to finetune along the way

the easiest KPI to highlight is that we recently onboarded our first customers, which basically means that we have a working solution.

project management and communication is very organic. We used jira for daily sprint meetings and documenting the requirements. We did have multiple sprints that overran, which i believe is a mutual responsibility.

communication and transparancy, combined with a can-do-mindset. I never felt there were any problems too big or items I wasn't aware of.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Zestminds was expected to develop custom software for a marketing and advertising company. The platform was supposedly a voice dialing system.
